Is there any issue with switching frequently between Wayland and X11? (self.kde)

I can't imagine there is but I'm wondering if I am missing something. I use GeForce Now and unfortunately it does not work in Plasma Wayland (issues with input redirection). Is there any problem with logging into an X11 session whenever I want to use that but using Wayland generally?

There shouldn't be, although I've found that Firefox doesn't to automatic Wayland detection well (I need MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND and such, but only on Wayland, to get touch pad gestures working) so that's more of a pain than I'd like. If everything works for you, you shouldn't run into any trouble switching back and forth.

@skullgiver @raptir haven't tested it yet but the Firefox 121 (released Dec 19th) release notes said it defaults to Wayland when possible now
